Loved by Galli33, Tschusikowsky & 39 more

For experienced palates: a 68% Clarendon that hits hard with overripe tropical fruit, rubber, smoke, salty umami and the famous blue‑cheese note. RumX members see it as a complex, quirky sipper, not a daily dram.

  • Huge complexity
  • Unique cheese note
  • Well‑integrated ABV

8.8/10

Nase und Abgang hatte ich tatsächlich Blauschimmelkäse geschmeckt🤔Aber leider geil! Die 68% vertragen auch ein wenig Wasser. Edit: RumX Advent 12.12.22 Heutiges Motto: wenns nach Käse schmeckt, ist der Rum aus der Schweiz 😜 Herrlich intensiv, Gummi, rote Früchte, Kiwi, Holz, salzig, vergorene Banane, sauer und eben (Blauschimmel-)Käse. Im Abgang noch Leder und Himbeer Konfitüre. Vermutung: Clarendon 2007 68% von CG 🎯🥳

unglaublich schweres, komplexes Teil. An der Nase habe ich Pflaumenkompott, allerlei aus dem Chemielabor (Wachs, Lack, Alkali, Gummi), Trockenfrüchte, Leder, vergorenes Obst. Am Gaumen Mokka, Fass, Fahrradschlauch, verbrannt. Das haut ordentlich rein. Den Alkohol finde ich sehr gut eingebunden…absolut positiv überrascht, der ist ja mal richtig gut!

Verkostet im RumX Adventskalender … super lecker und einer mei er Favourites bisher. Die Käsenote habe ich von mir aus nich wahrgenommen bzw. Nicht selbst die Assoziation hergestellt. Fand ihn einfach nur lecker, aber auch etwas speziell.

8.7/10

Monymusk to me is usually a rum that comes in pretty strong and this one is no exception. The nose is definitely Jamaica with rubber, varnish and lots of fruit. There is also some nice wood there and a bit of funk. The palate is also fruity with smoky wood and nuts, caramel and vanilla. There is a hint of leather there as well. The finish is long with smoky wood, spices and raisin. The leather is more present in the finish than on the palate.

Nicknamed "Stilton 2007"- takes some time to breathe, but then offers a fascinating combination of overripe fruit, wood, spices and...blue cheese. Sounds strange, tastes (to me) all the better for it. Completely own profile, which will certainly divide the tastes, but for me the basis for one of the - thanks to its uniqueness - best younger Clarendons up to here.
